NEW POLITICO/Morning Consult Poll- 69% Support Assault-Style Weapon Ban

[PA Democrat]

President Donald Trump said Wednesday “there is no political appetite” for an assault-weapons ban “at this moment.” Voters — including the majority of Republican voters — disagree.

A new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll shows nearly seven-in-10 registered voters, 69 percent, support banning assault-style weapons, including 57 percent who “strongly support” such a ban. Only 23 percent of voters oppose an assault-weapons ban.

Support for banning assault weapons cuts across parties, though it is strongest among Democrats. Majorities of Democrats (86 percent), Republicans (55 percent) and independents (65 percent) support banning assault weapons.

The poll was conducted Aug. 5-7, in the immediate wake of two mass shootings. A lone gunman killed 22 people on Saturday at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas. Then, early Sunday morning, another gunman murdered nine people in Dayton, Ohio.

2. I just sent this polling data to Pat Toomey

who stated earlier this week that he would not support any legislation banning assault-style weapons because they were "extremely popular." I guess Toomey stands with mass murderers and white supremacist terrorists because it looks like that is the only group that finds these weapons "extremely popular."

Please people, call write, DEMAND meaningful legislation that addresses weapons and high capacity magazines that make the type of carnage we are seeing possible.
